Shaved Head Lyrics by Rheostatics

Double Live

1992

Martin Tielli & Dave Bidini

The minute you shaved your head
You ran for the mirror, but slipped in the clippings
You sat in your nest... and cried like a baby would:
"Why am I, why am I wild and...
What is a what is a monster to do?
When your teeth are so new and your tongue is for licking?"

Spent, you fell down to the floor... And dopey
You giggled, rolled sideways, and turned on the stereo;
White noise on the radio felt like a weird movie

... And I am and I...
That's such a happy way to be
Me, I can do it? How 'bout you?

You made sure the door was not open
You made sure the blinds were all closed
Gathered up pillows and took off your clothes

Each piece that fell to the floor
Each piece that showed a bit more of your skin
Lay back to your bed... so touched to the cool sheets

... And I am and I...
That's such a lonely thing to cry
Me, I can do it? How 'bout you?

The minute they shaved my head
I asked, begged, to let me a minute more to breath
My days are my lungs, but my love for you is
E n d l e s s

(Pray for me and Joy.)
